No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.

What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


Why copper cannot displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?

more reactive than copper. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element will displace the less reactive element from its compound. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper on the reactivity series of metals, allowing it to displace copper in the reaction.


What is the equation for copper sulphate and zinc?

The reaction between copper sulfate and zinc can be represented by the following equation: CuSO4 + Zn -> ZnSO4 + Cu. In this reaction, zinc replaces copper in the copper sulfate solution, resulting in the formation of zinc sulfate and solid copper.


How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?

zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


Why zinc sulphate and copper have displacement reaction?

No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the zinc.


What would be seen coating the zinc strips in the reaction zinc and iron sulphate?

Hi there, I am not very sure what the coating is called but i think it is iron oxide. lolxx


Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?

it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.


Why copper rods not used to separate zinc from zinc sulphate?

Copper rods cannot separate zinc from zinc sulphate because copper is less reactive than zinc, and cannot separate the zinc which is more reactive than copper. If you get copper sulphate and add some zinc to it, you will see solid copper appearing on the bottom of the test tube... The copper cannot push out the zinc from the solution and take its place.


Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


What happens if strip of zinc is dipped in solution of copper sulphate?

Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series, so it will displace copper from it's solutions.Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + CuCopper plates onto the zinc as a small amount of zinc sulphate is produced.
